“And they departed from before Pi–hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days’ journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.”
And they departed from before Pi-hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah — this verse records the crossing of the Sea of Reeds ("through the midst of the sea"), the decisive moment of deliverance. After the crossing, they journey three days through the Etham wilderness to Marah, where bitter water becomes sweet through divine intervention (cf. Exodus 15:23-25).
